History

Tuscan Gem holds a wealth of history, tradition, and culture within its walls as it was once home to Felice Matteucci (1808 – 1887) who, in the summer of 1854, invented the first stroke engine (prototype of the modern-day motor car) in his on-site workshop. Whilst his father was nominated counselor to the High Court of Justice of Leopold II, Felice spent much of his time looking after the two country homes the family owned at the beginning of the 18th century, one of which was Tuscan Gem, where he continued his scientific research.
